Abstract
End-to-end question answering system has attracted considerable attention in the artificial intelligence research community in recent years. In this paper, we proposed an integrated deep learning model for factoid question answering system. This study uses the Delta Reading Comprehension Dataset (DRCD) to build a model to implement a factoid question answering system and to combine the classification of question and answer to evaluate with exact match (EM) and F1 score. The study determines whether the comparison can increase the proportion of EM and whether the expected answer type can effectively increase the answer accuracy rate. To perfect the transformation, a question-and-answer system that uses the BERT pre-training model is applied to the DRCD dataset together with the expected answer type analysis and comparison. The contribution of this paper is that we proposed a system architecture of factoid question answering (QA) system using BERT with question expected answer type (Q-EAT) and answer type classification (AT) models. Findings confirm that the classification of question and answer can improve the EM ratio. When the question sentence and the answer classification are the same, the prediction accuracy EM of the question answering system will be improved.
